In today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined by Max Gulker of the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER). Max describes how he began as a "center left Democrat" and how he was eventually won over to libertarian ideas as the best way to achieve a more prosperous society. Max and Marc then look at a recent article by Tyler Cowen calling for "State Capacity Libertarianism", wherein he implores libertarians to give up on being "anti-State" and to instead aim for a more efficient state. Max pushes back on this idea and breaks down why this isn't an effective strategy for reaching those on the left who currently beg for more government programs.  Hear our podcast from the CA Libertarian Party State Convention by joining the Lions of Liberty Pride and supporting this show on Patreon !

In today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, host Marc Clair is joined by Kerry Baldwin of MereLiberty.com and the Dare to Think podcast to discuss her unique take on the subject of abortion, one that critiques not only the standard "pro-choice" and "pro-life" positions, but even the "principled compromise" position of evictionism as presented by Walter Block. Kerry's critique of Block's position even led to her debating him on the topic at a recent Soho Forum. While I thought I had put the abortion issue to bed after my episode 400 roundtable, Kerry presented such a unique perspective on the issue that I had to invite her on to expand. We dive deep into some of the most difficult aspects of the abortion issue, including what should the libertarian outlook should be when rape is involved, the concept of a fetus as "trespasser" as presented by Block, and how a true paradigm shift on the issue can lead to better outcomes for consenting adults and fetuses alike.  Help us launch this show to a whole new level in 2020 by joining the Lions of Liberty Pride and supporting this show on Patreon !

He went to trial for selling 6.4 grams of cocaine and money laundering. During sentencing he was held responsible for 1.5 kilograms of ghost dope. This took his sentence from possibly receiving 60 to 70 months, to being moved to a category that put him in the guideline range of 360 to life. Ultimately, Maurice served 23 years.
